According to a new friend in the Australian foreign service who's studying Arabic here, those in the American foreign service caught purchasing or downloading pirated content lose their job. If they murder, extort, or otherwise harm someone, however, they do not necessarily lose their job. Oh, the power of lobbies.

Just for the record, I've volunteered for MRI studies where they were playing music on the Windows machine which ran the MRI.
